What a day…
It’s been a very interesting day. I have managed to get lost twice. Act’s of nature or just low blood sugar? Who knows. Either way it has lead me to meet new people. I went to Ocean Beach today and hung out with Jess (I met through craigslist). She lives on a block that runs along the beach in what some might call a really pimp house. On my way there I managed to get lost on a one way train. Yes, it’s possible. I got off at the wrong station. An hour later I finally reached my destination…the beach. We hung out, played some pool, grabbed dinner, watched the sunset on the beach and watched a movie. None of this being romantic in any way mind you.
On the way back at 11pm I managed to get on the right bus going yet again the wrong way. What part of town I ended up in is irrelevant at this point. The important part is that on the train I met someone. Again, not romantic but she is really really cute. She reminded me of Hope. I asked her about where the train was heading and then after the brief exchange of information I turned around and went back to listening to my music. I sat and thought about it and it just seemed right. I had this overwhelming feeling to ask her for coffee. So I did. Yet again in a non-romantic way. We got off the train in the Castro and stopped in a little dive and talked for about an hour. Point being…force of nature or pure will? Was I supposed to get lost and meet this person who resembles someone whom I hold dear or would I have met her anyway. Fate or timing? Ahhh, the minds little struggle to analyze life.
